'The Centre as Margin. Eccentric Perspectives on Art' is a multi-authored volume of collected essays that answer the challenge of thinking Art History, and the Arts in a broader sense, from a liminal point of view. Its main goal is thus to discuss the margin from the centre - drawing on its concomitance within study themes and subjects, ontological and epistemological positions, or research methodologies themselves. Marginality, eccentricity, liminality, and superfluity are all part of a dynamic relationship between centre and margin(s) that will be approached and discussed, from the point of view of disciplines as different and as close as art history, philosophy, literature and design, fro...
This volume aims to intensify the interdisciplinary dialogue on comics and related popular multimodal forms (including manga, graphic novels, and cartoons) by focusing on the concept of medial, mediated, and mediating agency. To this end, a theoretically and methodologically diverse set of contributions explores the interrelations between individual, collective, and institutional actors within historical and contemporary comics cultures. Agency is at stake when recipients resist hegemonic readings of multimodal texts. In the same manner, “authorship” can be understood as the attribution of agency of and between various medial instances and roles such as writers, artists, colorists, letterers, or editors, as well as with regard to commercial rights holders such as publishing houses or conglomerates and reviewers or fans. From this perspective, aspects of comics production (authorship and institutionalization) can be related to aspects of comics reception (appropriation and discursivation), and circulation (participation and canonization), including their potential for transmedialization and making contributions to the formation of the public sphere.
Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, anthropology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their specific approaches.

Diese Ausgabe von Tierstudien steht unter dem Motto "Tiere erzählen". Tieren wird traditionell der Logos (Sprache, Rationalität) abgesprochen. Was passiert, wenn Tiere Sprache erhalten und sie nicht nur Laute produzieren? Inwiefern wird dadurch die Speziesgrenze neu perspektiviert? Werden Tiere notwendig anthropomorphisiert, wenn ihnen eine (eigene) Stimme verliehen wird, mit der sie ihre Geschichten erzählen können? U.a. diesen Fragen widmen sich die Aufsätze zu erzählenden Tieren in medialen, naturgeschichtlichen und literarisch-philosophischen Kontexten. Die Analysen leisten eine Relektüre von bekannten ikonischen Tieren wie dem weißen Hai, dem gestiefelten Kater oder dem bösen Wolf. Es wird deutlich, dass die Semiotik und Sprache der Tiere immer auch eine politische Dimension besitzen, die besonders im Hinblick auf vom Krieg traumatisierte Hunde oder in der Klage geschlachteter Schweine über Tiertransporte manifest wird. Die drei Bildstrecken beschäftigen sich mit dem Erzählen von Tieren und für Tiere in der Kunst: in der Autobiographie ausgestopfter Tiere, dem Lesen von Ameisenspuren und der Neuerzählung des Gilgamesch-Epos für Affen.
Der vorliegende Sammelband fokussiert das Verhältnis verschiedener Unterrichtsfächer zum Einsatz von Comics in der Sekundarstufe. Nach einer theoretischen Rahmensetzung in drei Überblicksbeiträgen bieten die fachspezifischen Kapitel eine generelle Einschätzung des didaktischen Potentials dieser Erzählform. Im Vordergrund stehen unterschiedliche methodische Zugänge für einen kompetenzorientierten Unterricht, die Behandlung zentraler fachtypischer Problemstellungen, aber auch ein konkretes Anwendungsbeispiel. Somit soll nicht nur die Lücke zwischen Theorie und Praxis geschlossen, sondern auch der Einstieg in die Comicdidaktik für interessierte Lehrkräfte, Lehramtsstudierende und Fachdidaktiker/innen erleichtert werden.
The challenges of a complex and volatile world require solutions that reconcile divergent perspectives and interests. In schools, interdisciplinarity has been integrated within curricula for decades, yet it is rarely applied as a collaborative practice. Communication between different fields of research is not enough. Without meaningful collaboration, opportunities to connect are lost, and teachers and students fail to benefit from the experience of lived interdisciplinarity. A new periodical, entitled EDU:TRANSVERSAL, presents the latest findings of national and international transversal research as well as the state of the art of interdisciplinarity in didactics. The aim of this annual publication is to stimulate a transversal turn in education.
